PRE-ORDER: 3/16/2027 Bad Idea by Elle Kennedy (Deluxe Edition & Signed Copy)

A college hockey star and his ex-best friend's younger sister--what could possibly go wrong?

AJ Connelly's best friend slept with his girlfriend, so he's sworn off relationships. Ivy Di Laurentis is his now ex-best-friend's younger sister. A gorgeous ballerina who's been a bullying target, she's inexperienced and in need of an ally. When she sends AJ a drunken DM for a hook-up, AJ tries to decipher why he shows up.

Does he have a soft spot for her? Is he trying to get back at his friend? Maybe he hates the idea of Ivy getting with some random dude. More importantly, what happens now?
